Show Notes Below:

Shakiel Mahjouri: “Bill, what made you retire despite being on a four-fight winning streak.”

Bill Mahood: “I had a couple bad detached retinas and a couple eye surgeries. The eye surgeries are probably what stopped me from fighting. Honestly, if I didn’t have the eye surgeries I’d be 50-years-old and still out there punching out punks.”

Shakiel Mahjouri: “Kajan is coming off a quick turnaround following his last loss against an opponent with a similar style.”

Bill Mahood: “If you come out of the fight without any serious injuries, no damage and you’re able to spin a second camp into your first camp, it can be two for the price of one. Training camps kill you.”

Shakiel Mahjouri: “How do you guys feel about the fall out between Donald Cerrone and Jackson-Wink’s gym over Mike Perry? Cerrone has seemingly left the gym over issues with Perry training there.”

Bill Mahood: “It is a one-on-one thing. You are training with a team that helps you, but when it comes down to it you’re going to get locked in the cage by yourself. It’s kind of personal.”

Kajan Johnson: “Totally, especially when two people are training in the same gym at the same weight class and something happens where they need to fight each other. That is the Cerrone-Perry situation. I’ve fought several teammates and I’ve been blessed that people have handled it well, but there can be a lot of drama and tension that builds.”
